When the battle came to this, both the Qing army and the Fu Han army fell into a cruel strangulation, but because the Fu Han army occupied the city, coupled with its own ability to fight after all, it did not suffer a loss, but blocked the Qing army under the city and could not advance or retreat.

Seeing that many Qing troops began to retreat, this made Chen Wu a little helpless, and he was full of hope that the Qing army could hold on for a while so that he could enjoy the fight.

At this time, Qian Ying, the commander of the independent second division who was watching the battle on the city tower, seemed to have seen something amazing, he was originally relatively old in the green camp, and he had also experienced some wars, and at first he was only angry at the imperial court for abandoning them and tearing down the bridge in the green camp of Liangguang Liangguang, but he didn't know much about the Fu Han army.

At present, this scene is telling him that the Fu Han Army's specialty is really not one or two, but crushing the green battalion from all directions, and the strength of any regiment can suppress thousands of green battalions, and the whole process is very easy, Qian Ying asked himself if he and the three thousand people under his command could not do it.

Since he came to belong to the Fu Han Army, Qian Ying's feelings have become stronger and stronger day by day, he originally thought that his independent second division was cannon fodder, but he didn't expect that Ning Yu didn't send them into battle at all, the siege in front of them was done by the main division, and they were only responsible for fighting and cleaning up the battlefield.

In terms of establishment and transfer, Ning Yu did not intervene too much, but only sent a chief of staff, and then asked Qian Ying to nominate a deputy division commander by himself, this move made Qian Ying still quite emotional, he roughly understood the chief of staff as the previous role of supervising the army, and obeyed everything the chief of staff said.

According to the practice of the Fu Han Army, he needs to be promoted to the position of chief of staff of the regiment first, and then continue to accumulate combat merits, and then he will be promoted to the position of the commander of the main force or the deputy division commander of the garrison division, and then continue to make meritorious contributions in order to be promoted to the level of chief of staff of the division.

Now this independent second division itself is the original green battalion soldiers, and it is not a good thing, so it fell on Li Ji's head, but Li Ji is also satisfied with this high position.

Since taking office, Li Ji has begun to have an impact on the Second Independent Division in subtle ways, such as summoning the whole division to train every morning, and organizing the whole division to learn to read and write in the afternoon.

At first, Qian Ying thought it was strange, this morning's training was nothing more than a little hard, but as long as the food of the soldiers could be guaranteed, it didn't hurt, after all, it could enhance the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but did this ordinary big-headed soldier need to read and write? This will not affect kills.

Li Ji once told him very seriously that since he was in the Eagle Camp, literacy was an extremely important thing, and the camp seat at that time was now the Metropolitan Governor, and he worked hard to promote literacy in the whole camp.

"If you can't read and write as a soldier, you won't be able to become a general in the future, because you can't read military orders and can't command troops."

These words have echoed in Li Ji's heart to this day, and he also very solemnly sent these words to the officers and men of the whole division, and this move is not without results, at least now the harmony of the troops has become stronger, and the command is more orderly, which is far beyond the green battalion.

At this time, Li Ji seemed to sigh when he saw Qian Ying, and said in a low voice: "What I'm thinking about is whether I can still fight so well if I replace the first regiment with my independent second division today." ”

Qian Ying was silent, no matter how proud he was, he didn't dare to say that the thousands of green battalions he led could have such an effect. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance back at Ning Yu in front of him, with a calm and confident face, and that confidence could not stop his pace no matter what it was.

Ning Yu just watched the Qing army under the city, shattered under the bombardment of platoon guns and artillery, and then became collapsed, this second offensive was being disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in order to save the few bullets left, even the artillery stopped directly, leaving only the monotonous and rhythmic sound of the platoon.

"Ready, fire!"

Under Chen Wu's order, the Fu Han army on the city wall mechanically pulled the trigger, and then passed the musket to the back to fill the ammunition, and then took the newly loaded gun and continued to aim and shoot.

The whole process was monotonous and boring, but it made the Qing troops in the city cry and despair.

Gao Qiwei clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist hard, his face turned from blue to white, he let out a long breath, his fingers clenched and loosened, and then he paced a few steps in place, which made the Qing army generals a little unbelievable, and this northwest tiger also had a time when he was in a hurry.

"Retreat!"

Gao Qiwei squeezed these two words out of his mouth, he finally made up his mind, if there was still a glimmer of hope, he would not give up, but in two waves of offensives one after another, he invested more than 8,000 people, and the results of the fierce battle in the middle of the night were only hundreds of casualties on the other side and filled the trench, while his own side almost lost most of it, if he continued to fight like this, it would collapse sooner or later.

"What Yang Lin said is right, if I don't train the new army in the Qing Dynasty, sooner or later I will lose half of the south!"

Gao Qiwei's heart was very painful, as a seventy-four-year-old man, at the end of his military career, he had to accept such a bitter defeat.

These people were trained by him personally, and they were also first-class elites in other places, but in front of the Fu Han army, they were no better than other green battalions, and there was nothing more than this.

After this night of siege, Gao Qiwei temporarily gave up the idea of besieging the city, and he also sent people to dig a deep trench outside the city, and then set up a camp, intending to attack the city through the method of siege. In addition, he also arranged for his soldiers to quietly dig tunnels and prepare to use the tunnels to attack the city, which can be described as doing everything.

In this process, Ning Yu did not give him any good fruit to eat, and took the lead in attacking the Qing army through cold artillery, and the time was always chosen at night, making the Qing army miserable.

However, Ning Yu also knew in his heart that with his high position, he would never be able to go out of the city to attack at will, not only would he give up his geographical advantages, but he would probably fall into the trap of his high position.

Just besieged the city for more than half a month, Ningyu also got a good news, the independent division down the Ganjiang River, directly captured Ganzhou, this move is to expand the strategic advantage again, according to the news of the independent division, they will go up the river in the future, and then attack Ningdu, Jianchang and Fuzhou, when the time comes, see if Gao Qiwei still has the heart to besiege the city.

As long as the other party gives up the siege, then there will definitely be some action, and with action, there is no fear of being in a high position and not revealing flaws.
